i need pumpkin

i need pumpkin
the day is already a dead one

like rats
having their way with a porcupine carcass

not sure that would even happen
but we walk into the moonlight and start to pray

what were we playing and why
twin people sliding down the hill
laughing

the old man in the daily mail story going to jail

the personal
day already “pumpkined” or something  

over is the walk into the sun

the scrolling down
through the mountains
a dictator shot with his head against the ground

rats reading every random listicle
imagine they are saving something
we find insufficient niblets in the news
and so run the maze of comments

bumping noses on the glass

anonymous alien scientists laugh
old gods take their baths

what rotten pumpkin  
flies having business in the world

and bright days ahead
tasted on the tongue and gutted from the stomach
tantalize like pie smells of baking
like kids carving a pumpkin
and ditching slimy seeds
